I am working on a flash game that I am building in Flash Builder 4. I have a library of movieclips in the FLA file and need to create instances of these movieclips within objects of a custom class. I am unsure how to refer to the library of the flash file while in a class file.  
I also would like to call these movieclips dynamically based on the combination of two strings. I know it is possible to create variables dynamically with this[variableName]. Can I refer to library objects from the flash doc in the same way?

I appreciate the help!
